About Me

Am Andrew Kariuki. 38 years old. Am In transport and delivery business. I operate trucks and Vans that deliver different products for clients across Kenya.

My Business

My transport business has grown gradually for the last 2 months. I have engaged more than nine corporate clients and have more than 12 individual clients I serve from day to day across the country. I operate 2 ten tonne trucks,one ten tonne refrigerated truck and two vans .
My main expense is usually fuel, vehicle owner payment(I use other people's vehicles, driver wages and driver stipend.
I wish to raise 200000 to be able to purchase fuel in bulk and in wholesale so as to ensure I don't have hiccups in serving my clients through timely delivery. Most times we are forced to wait to get good to transport back to Nairobi so as to cover Fuel costs

Project Proposal

I intend to raise finds to purchase monthly fuel at wholesale prices and in advance to enable me serve my clients promptly and in time. This will also benefit my business in two direct ways;
1. I ll get fuel cheaper with a difference of Kshs 12 per litre thus less operating costs.
2. My vehicles will be able to serve more orders in a month since they won't delay at delivery towns awaiting loads to fuel them back to Nairobi or Mombasa where I serve most clients from

    Due to the heavy flooding affecting the country, we have experienced delays in delivering products due to roads being swept off and bridges overflowing.

    I will top up fuel cards to ensure I have reserve fuel to serve any extra client orders. This will help me to increase my capacity and profits. Thanks to Zidisha community for believing in me.

    I also welcome those around Kenya and East Africa within the community and need transport services to contact me for the best services.
